✨tum Ko....Paa Hi Liya!✨

chapter 2.

In Mumbai

Siddharth entered his house humming the same song that he heard few days back. He had still not got out of it . Still in that zone, mulling over ,churning out some purpose out of it...... but all his logics and reasoning were gone in vain as soon as her face came into light and thus ,he was all zone out. It was the first time after three and a half years he saw her and  she still holds that power on his mind. He wondered how? with that he strolled inside his bedroom.

Yesssssss his bedroom ,it was all dark inside. Taking a moment he went near the switch board and switch on the light.

"What the hell Siddharth !can't you just see that I am sleeping . F***! switch off the Goddamn light  and please let me sleep.....im all spent for the day, unlike you" she mumbled wobbly irritated and partially in sleep.

"I think yes! I couldn't see ,the lights were off for that matters. but I'm really sorry! very sorry !for the disturbance. Main actually Aadi se milane aaya tha that's it....... I thought wo tumhare pass soya hoga." He muttered a little apologetically switching off the light. This is how they have been all these years in their conjugal life . The passion, the romance ,the sweetness it was all gone way long back or it was there only for a miniscule period of time ,basically only in the early 5 -6 month of there marriage.
But now the only thing they hold between themselves is their son ,he is the only string between them that has still got them very much intact to each other . Though their relation is hollow from inside but from outside they are very much together for their son.

"Aadi apne kamre mein hi sota hai for your kind information ,he has a separate room ,that's where he sleeps" she said coldly pulling the quilt over her head clearly hinting him to just buzz off from her sight.

"Shalini ,he is just 4 and a half.....!! mera beta abhi bahut Chhota hai Tum usse akele room mein.....! raat ko....! use dar lagega"
"you are unbelievable !!.....kitni bar khne ke bad bhi tum usse........you are impossible! "he blustered in agony, grinding her teeths  ,running his hand into his hairs out of frustration and anger.

"oh! Please Siddharth don't give me this shit. Pak chuki hun main......and raat Ko tumhen.... mera beta....Yaad a jata hai pura din kahan rehte ho tum? tab apne bete ki Yad nahin aati! And waise bhi vo mera beta hai .....vo chhoti chhoti chijon ke liye dusron per dependent nahin hota unlike others Jo emotional support ke liye kabhi apni maa per and financially apne baap par depend ho." she retorted with same pitch and frustration, taunting him indirectly.

A woman is said to be  a giver in a conjugal relationship she is supposed to be the building block, the forgiver the most benevolent but wait isn't it we are making it a stereotypical thing! isn't it a cliche! But sometimes things go other way round... Call it situations or adversities. When a nuptial is on the verge of breaking... The reason can be both. Man n women both are active participant in it.

"You know what Mein hi bevakoof hoon jo tumse baat karni aa jata hun! even though I know that nothing I am gonna churn out of it,...... you know what! just just sleep women! Have a good night." his voice sleek and pungent this time. so he got out of the room banging his hand on the door mercilessly.

"F*** off ...."she said and closed her eyes getting herself into deep slumber. It  has  become a ritual for both of them. They never sleep or go to bed without uttering shit to each other, but still there is no feeling of remorse between them for reacting this way,.... only for the sake of their child they are till now tolerating each other, otherwise they would have parted their ways long back. A child holds great power on his or her parents,  a child is capable of holding onto to his parents at times when situations are extremely adverse and the latter two  don't have the patience to tolerate each other or to be in the vicinity of of each other just for the sake of marriage.
